Only Manually
Select Only Manually, if you want to congure everything on your own.
Synchronize without Daemon
On laptops and other machines that suspend automatically, select Synchronize
without Daemon. Using this mode, YaST does not start ntpd on the local machine
for synchronising. Instead YaST creates a crontab entry (/etc/cron.d/novell
.ntp-synchronize) that checks the time with the time server as specied in
the Interval of the Synchronization in Minutes eld. For more information about
cron, see Section 18.1.2, “The cron Package” (page 266).
